this da boy
id like to thank those who support me
the few who actually do
this fo those who got a few dreams

Long time
And I know
A change gon come

Sing to em

Yeah

It’s been a long time
We been hassled
By our own minds
Intimidated
Scared to make the next move
No connects for this dude
Mean game
Sicker poetry game
Even greater design

Sing to em

Long time
And I know
A change gon come

We been held back
It’s who you know
And the ones we knew
Was fraud
They talked a good game
But they played poor
And I’m thinking
How the **** I’m gon score
With no ball, no goal
I got sneakers, jerseys, nets, and poles

Sing to em

See I got no backboard
Background
Was black
See that factor there, got me past here
Cuz I worked two times harder to get here
To a place
Where I’ll get a degree and be facing toilet paper
On aisle 10
But I’m telling this ain’t the end

Sing to em

Long time
And I know
A change gon come

The end I ain’t even seen
But see I got this dream
And the cashiers won’t stop me
Nor the managers
And the capping, laughing, asking us we still retail
A day my stock gon sell
Right now, I’m in hell
But here come 70L
And the Lords work I spell
I was quiet at first without him
But now I yell

A long time
A long time coming
But I know a change gon come

When a young a student like me
In my position
In the middle between good and bad
Rich and poor
Won’t have to break they back, lose sleep
Sleep in class and grind no more
He won’t have to do it like me
Struggling thru to get a degree
And they still don’t hire me
But it’s been a long time
I know
